That is why I was in the audience eating a homemade oatmeal cookie. That, and I can’t fight because my natural instinct is to run like heck when someone wants to punch me. Luckily that doesn’t occur, but I am pretty sure that is exactly what I would do. Okay.. that would be a reason for me to run. That and lions.
